Originally posted by tedehara What is it in today's aikido training that O Sensei's students sees missing?

I remember one instance of Saotome sensei talking about his training when he was an uchideshi. He simple said that a lot of people these days are happy to train for eight to ten hours every week, but he said he trained that amount pretty much every single day.

It's not just the number of hours, either, that impresses me; it's also the peers with whom people like him trained...
